Named after Prince Tancredi in the leopard, this is a fairly matured wine compared to Sedara.

Well balanced with smooth structured tannins, this will definitely pair well with red meat.

As for the future, the young Gabriella and Ferdinando are already being “fully immersed” in the family’s activities Read less
